The Descent to UDK Website reveals plans for a fan-developed remake of Descent, the six-degrees-of-freedom tunnel shooter from days gone by (thanks LittleMe). The UDK project is expected to be made available early next year, and this experimental gameplay trailer shows early progress towards that goal. Here is the project leader's outline of their first release:

a retelling of Descent's story

the original levels remade, with an emphasis on a thriller/horror atmosphere

remodeled and animated original robots with advanced AI

all the weapons from Descent with potential new ones mixed in

a high-detail Pyro-GX ship model with a 3D cockpit view

more diverse gameplay with a strong focus on the basics that made Descent great
